Race fans looking for last-minute tickets for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix can still get their hands on some good seats.

Octane Management, the company that organizes the F1 race in Montreal, said Thursday that a limited number of reserved seats were still available in several grandstands, notably No. 2, which is on the starting grid right across from pit lane. Seats are also still available in grandstands 11 and 12 on the Senna Curve, and in grandstands 15, 21 and 24 in the hairpin turn.

On Thursday morning, organizers announced that Grandstand 33 is sold out. The same is true of the Elite loges and restaurant, and the Senna restaurant.

Daily tickets are also still available for Friday and Saturday — race day on Sunday is already sold out — in the Popular grandstand near the hairpin. General-admission tickets are still available for all three days.

For more information, call the ticket office at 514-350-0000 or 1-855-790-1245, between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., or order them online at circuitgillesvilleneuve.ca or admission.com. Fans can also pick up tickets in person at the Île Ste-Hélène ticket office, which is next to the Jean-Drapeau métro station.

Early start: For early birds — and especially general admission and Popular Grandstand ticket holders — the gates to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will open to the public at 8 a.m. on Friday, 7 a.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. on race day.

O Canada: Quebec singer Roch Voisine will kick things off before the 2 p.m. race start on Sunday by singing the national anthem.
